With quarterback Carson Palmer announcing his retirement from the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals are left with no quarterback on the roster under contract for 2018. It is presumed they will seek one in the NFL draft this year. They have the 15th overall pick in the draft.

Round 1: QB Josh Allen, Wyoming

Although many believe Allen could go much earlier than the 15th pick, this mock has him falling all the way to the Cardinals.

Carson Palmer is retiring, so it’s time for the Cards to find his successor. I’m not sold on Allen as a first-round prospect, but that doesn’t mean the NFL will agree with me. His raw physical tools and upside could easily land him in the top 15.

It will be an interesting offseason now that coach Bruce Arians has also retired. He had a particular physical profile he sought in his quarterbacks. Allen fits that. Will he be the guy the new coach wants?
